At the end of every film, you get to see all the names of the amazing people that made it happen. Our little production is no different. We had an unforgettable day, and none of it would have happened without everyone below. So call them, hire them, say yay to small businesses run by great people! Our CWO (Chief Wedding Officer): Talida Chen Thanks to Talida we didn't have to worry about a thing on the big day. When she showed up in flats and ipad in tow, I knew she meant business. We so completely enjoyed ourselves because she took care of all the whats and wheres. Invitations/Stationary: Daniel Tran, Aria Stationary Wish we could take credit for our stationary and logo, but alas, it was all Daniel. The man has impeccable taste. And lucky for all of us, his stationary line officially launches this November! Photography: Zhao and Son, aka my cousin Peter Zhao and his dad Su You remember this duo - carrying no less than 3 cameras at once, grinning from ear to ear, often with drink in hand, and sometimes yelling things just to make you laugh in a photo. They were up with us at 7am and worked their butts off. Favors: Kika's Treats Kika is a SF-based chocolate artisan. She and her team hand crafts Brazil-inspired treats right here in the city. She's a graduate of La Cocina, and completely wonderful to work with. Band: David Brandom They don't have a name but they are so good they don't need one. Ask me for his number and I'll give it to you. Flowers: Spicy Green Mango, aka Chandara Phanachone This Bay Area-based woman of all trades completely saved us in the flowers department. Without her, you would have been looking at dry cacti while you ate. Also thanks to JLau and the Shen sisters for participating so willingly in my center-piece sweatshop. Styling - Groom: Bombfell's very own Sarah Lee She doesn't usually do 1 on 1 consultations, but if you are extra nice (or looks extra dumpy), she will come to the rescue, even at 9pm in the evening! PS. She also found the my's amazing hair piece Styling - Bride: Retrofit Republic (who else?!) The always fabulous J & J advised me on the beaded sleeves I attached to the dress and the navy ribbon sash. Their store is also where my turquoise shoes found me, before I even found my dress. (Materials purchased at Britex) Bridal gown and accessories: Nordstrom Wedding Suite This is my one exception to small businesses, but my stylist Heather was so great to me I can't not mention it. The Wedding Suite has plenty of options that worked with my small(ish) budgets, they don't try to upsell you, and prepared everything from undergarments to jewels at my appointments. I'm not a bride-y bride, but go there, seriously. Location and Catering: Housing Works Bookstore and Cafe Amanda O'Callaghan was my event manager from start to finish, and was there in person the night of the event, making sure everything went smoothly. And the food, well, you were there for the food. Thanks everybody, you are the dream team!
For those driving that day, please give yourselves extra time to find parking near Battery Park, from what we hear it isn't that easy.
For those driving to Housing Works Bookstore and Cafe and have already let us know, please park at this garage: SOHO VILLAGE PARKING LLC 610 Broadway Entrance: 156 Crosby St. Between: E. Houston & Bleecker For those using the trusty NYC subway system, the closest subways to Pumphouse Park are: Cortland St on the R train World Trade Center on the E train Park Place on the 2/3 Fulton St on the 4/5 the closest subways to Housing Works Bookstore and Cafe are: Broadway-Lafayette on the B/D/F/M - this is closest Prince St on the N/R Spring or Bleecker St on the 6 "Festive" means dress your most fabulous. Tim will be in a suit and Linda in a long dress but you wear what makes you feel your most fabulous. And comfortable. Since our wedding day will be partially outdoors, may require some walking, and definitely requires dancing, restrictive clothes and shoes kinda kill the mood. We welcome any tradition/ethnic garb, suits, vests, suspenders, flats, flowers, and definitely definitely colorful socks. In short, wear this: Not that:
If you still haven't made hotel arrangements yet, tomorrow is the last day to reserve at the Millenium Hilton. Details below -

Got a favorite activity or eatery or drinking hole in the big apple? Tell us tell us tell us! I learned something new about the place where Tim proposed - "Cupid's Span" by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, was built in 2003 along the Rincon Park area. Resembling Cupid's bow and arrow with the arrow implanted in the ground, the statue was inspired by San Francisco's reputation as the home port of Eros, hence the stereotypical bow and arrow of Cupid.
